SELIM PEPPER
Selim's Pepper (Xylopia aethiopica / traditional spice), an aromatic spice with woody, slightly smoky, and subtly peppery notes, is ideal for enhancing sauces, stews, meats, exotic dishes, and African cuisine. Prized for its stimulating and digestive properties, it adds depth, intensity, and character to all your dishes. A natural product, it guarantees a unique aroma and carefully selected quality.
«Selim pepper,» also known as «Selim seeds,» «Guinea pepper,» or «Kili pepper,» is not actually a true pepper. It grows in Africa on a massive tree known as Xylopia aethiopica, which can reach heights of up to 20 meters. Selim pepper resembles a small, long, flat, ebony-colored bean (3 to 5 cm on average). This “false pepper” has flavors reminiscent of cubeb and nutmeg, with a very aromatic and slightly pungent taste.
It pairs particularly well with cooked vegetables, winter stews, sauerkraut, potatoes, or—for something more exotic—plantains or sweet potatoes.
Did you know? In Africa, pepper is believed to have many beneficial properties. In particular, it’s said to help women get pregnant when combined with other berries and consumed as a tea. You can also crush the seeds and add them to your coffee for an instant pick-me-up!
